Default 8th AF Commander rebukes Hollywood

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,125860,00.html

I haven't seen the Twinkee Moore's film, but I've met this General.

Thank you, Sir.


As commander of the 8th Air Force, I was present when President Bush
stopped to deliver a message to the American people at Barksdale
Air Force Base. Throughout my career, I have seen the best and the worst
of people under extreme pressure. President Bush arrived at Barksdale deeply
saddened and obviously concerned, but he was a man on a mission, courageous
and decisive. He was totally in command. I have kept relatively quiet about my
experiences with the president on 9/11, but I cannot sit back and allow
Hollywood and the media to rewrite history. I was there, and I consider myself
a good judge of leadership. We were fortunate that President Bush was our
commander in chief on 9/11.
